In the world of Indian motoring, few vehicles are as enduring—or as humble—as the Maruti Suzuki Eeco. Since its debut in 2010, it has been the backbone of small businesses and large families alike. However, as we move through May 2026, even the most practical “van” in India is getting a dash of glam.
Maruti Suzuki has officially launched the ‘Star Edition’ accessory package, a dealer-fitted kit designed to breathe fresh life into the Eeco’s utilitarian aesthetic. If you’ve ever felt the Eeco was a bit too “all work and no play,” this package is Maruti’s way of changing that narrative.
The Price Tag: A “Star” Value Proposition
The headline news isn’t just the accessories themselves, but the aggressive pricing. Traditionally, such a comprehensive list of upgrades would cost a buyer roughly ₹37,000. However, for a limited time, Maruti has slashed the price of the Star Edition package to just ₹19,999.
This makes it an incredibly attractive proposition for buyers who want that “showroom-custom” look without having to navigate the aftermarket.
| Variant | Standard Price (Ex-Showroom) | With ‘Star Edition’ Pack |
| 5-Seater Standard | ₹5.21 Lakh | ₹5.41 Lakh |
| 5-Seater AC | ₹5.54 Lakh | ₹5.74 Lakh |
| 5-Seater AC CNG | ₹6.36 Lakh | ₹6.56 Lakh |
Note: The Star Edition package is currently restricted to the 5-seater variants. Those opting for the 6-seater configuration will have to stick to the standard accessory catalog for now.
What’s in the Box? 18 Upgrades Revealed
Maruti isn’t holding back on the “Star” branding. The package includes 18 distinct accessories that target both the exterior curb appeal and the interior comfort of the van.
Exterior Enhancements:
The goal here was clearly to move away from the “commercial” look.
- Body-Coloured Bumpers: Available specifically for the Metallic Glistening Grey and Metallic Brisk Blue shades.
- Chrome Everywhere: From the front grille strips to the garnish around the headlamps, fog lamps, and taillights.
- Sporty Touches: A roof-mounted rear spoiler and Star Edition-specific graphics on the rear fender.
- Practicality: Halogen fog lamps, door visors, mud flaps, and silver wheel covers come standard in the kit.
Interior Refinements:
Inside, the Eeco moves closer to a passenger car feel with an “Interior Styling Kit.”
- Faux Wood Trims: The dashboard receives wooden-finish inserts that significantly uplift the cabin’s visual appeal.
- Leatherette Comfort: The package includes premium leatherette seat covers and a matching steering wheel cover.
- Protection: Door sill guards and heavy-duty black plastic floor mats are included to keep the cabin pristine.
The Soul Remains the Same
While the wrapper is new, the heart of the Eeco remains the tried-and-tested 1.2L Advanced K-Series Dual Jet, Dual VVT engine.
- Petrol Mode: Produces 80.7 bhp and 104.4 Nm of torque.
- CNG Mode: Delivers 71 bhp and 95 Nm of torque.
- Efficiency: The Eeco remains one of the most fuel-efficient movers in its class, boasting up to 26.78 km/kg in CNG mode.
Safety hasn’t been ignored in the 2026 lineup either. Every Eeco now comes standard with six airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and reverse parking sensors—making it a much safer environment for families than the Eecos of a decade ago.
Verdict: Is it Worth the Upgrade?
The Maruti Suzuki Eeco has always been the “sensible” choice. It’s the car you buy because you need it, not necessarily because you want it. By introducing the Star Edition at a sub-₹20,000 price point, Maruti is trying to bridge that gap.
For less than the price of a mid-range smartphone, you can transform a basic utility van into a vehicle that looks and feels significantly more premium. For small business owners looking to make a better impression or families who want a bit more “pizzazz” in their daily driver, the Star Edition is a stellar deal.
